Foals release their quite-hotly-anticipated second record on May 10, which is next Monday, so not long until it 'drops'. From what we've heard so far - and likewise you, I assume - it should surpass their first effort in Antidotes, an achievement indeed.

To prelude the release of Total Life Forever, we've got footage of the band in the studio which they recorded the album in, the Svenska Gramafon, Gothenburg. Looks like a typically swish Swedish-style set-up, all that wood panelling and such. Thin of it as a sort-of mini documentary of the recording process, if you will. Look not much further to see a little bit of what they got up to in there...

The band are currently on tour, in support of the album. Watch and listen to them at these places:

4 - Manchester, Ritz
6 - Cambridge, Junction
